The first proclamation was to honor Ruhl Cook for his community service to the City of Bronson. Cook completed his Boy Scout Eagle service project at Douglas Park.

To accomplish this, Ruhl sought donations from local businesses in order to buy the supplies he needed to rehab the playground equipment. Cook, along with members of Bronson's Boy Scout Troop No. 412 and Coldwater Boy Scout Troop No. 433, scraped and painted the playground equipment in the park.

Part of the money Cook raised was used to purchase a new net for the basketball hoop and to replace the park's benches.

The proclamation also mentioned Cook's willingness to help younger scouts, his membership in the National Honor Society and his participation in school plays, sports and music.

A second proclamation was read congratulating the Bronson High School Girl's Softball team for their stellar performance this year.

The team achieved a season record of 34 wins and five losses and they won Regional Championship title. The proclamation mentioned Kassidy Bystry, Lauren Cary and Skyler Sobeski being named to the All-State Team.
